tranny warranty ok here is the deal. 1st i have a 99 z28 camaro and im wondering what is the stock tranny called 4L60E | 4L80E or whatever. also i have a warranty on my engine, tranny, and rearend till 100,000 miles. here is the deal
stock rear-end, stock tranny....should i leave the stockers alone and put gears and a stall or.....fry the tranny and a rear end and get a new one with my warranty. i know this is sleazy but why do we pay an extra 5k for a warranty..i have 80k miles now....is this way wrong or should i go for it...in my opinion i know its wrong but i dis pay 5k to ensure me to get another in case it ever broke.

even so, dealerships are just as bad.
honestly, I don't think your rear is in danger of breaking with your current mods and an automatic. Just don't put drag it often, especially not with radials.
I'd say saving up for a 12 bolt and a stall would be a better course of action than intentionally blowing your entire drivetrain and expecting a dealership to replace it all.
